Officers don’t do “boot camp”. For good or ill I’m not certain. What I endured was a few weeks of “Officer Basic” which amounted to 6 to 8 hours of lectures in an air conditioned classroom a day.

Were you a lawyer or a doctor? Most Officer branches have a school specific to that branch. Infantry Officers Basic Course.

My son did basic training before OCS. That is what OCS commissioned officers do.

Yes, officers run through a type of Officer’s Candidates School in various flavors in different services.

Interestingly, Hunter Biden first came in as a Limited Duty Officer, then brought on as a Regular Commissioned Officer by Obama, though I’m unsure as to his MOS. Came in at age 42 with past drug related convictions, which is rather unique.

Booted out Dishonorable Discharge about 8 months later on positive cocaine charge.
